Roles:Physical Attacker

Its ability returns it to the bench once, then transforms before fighting as a physical attacker. Choice Scarf boosts Speed to slam transformed high power from above.

Alternative Move Options

Ice Punch hits Grass and Dragon weaknesses

Replace

Close Combat

With

Ice Punch

Add Ice Punch to hit Grass/Dragon types that halve Water.

Fast Physical Ace Role

After form change, 160 base Attack and Scarf Speed slam Wave Crash and other physical moves from above.Pivot moves cover the ability's required switch-out, and it shines as an ace late — that's this Pokémon's role.

Threats

Weak to bulky Grass Pokémon

Its main weapon is Water and it has no setup, so bulky Grass types are hard to break. In bad matchups, switch with Flip Turn.
